Going on First date tips?

[Yahoo user]

I'm going on a first date tonight with a guy I met online. I found him on Facebook and he seems to be who he says he is, and in texting he's really sweet and is not being creepy. I suggested a public place to meet up (movies and dinner) and he was totally fine with it which seems like a good sign.

I'm bringing a few of my friends for the initial meetup just to be safe, and then as long as everything is good they'll go off and do their own thing.

So, tips for the date? i'm thinking of wearing an open cardigan with a cami underneath. Also, I'm pretty sure he'll pay for dinner since he asked me out and when guys do that they tend to pay, but should I still go for my wallet when the bill comes? I don't want to seem like I just assumed he would pay.

Should I let him kiss me if he wants to?

Any other tips/suggestions?
I do want to be alone with him, but I'm bringing friends just in case he's not who he says he is. It's being safe.

Well I wouldn't condone a movie first date. You need time to talk. Also blow him so he doesnt leave your ugly ass after the first date

This is NOT a date.

You are bringing a group of your friends to 'check out the guy. This sends a clear message that you don't want to be alone with him, not even in a public place. He is going to be wondering the entire time where your friends are hiding and spying on him.

If you want to do this right, have a video chat so you know he is who he says he is. No video chat = No date. Then you meet at a nice restaurant in a shopping mall for dinner. About 90 minutes. Then you say goodbye.

If you do it your way, you have a movie that's about 2 hours (staring at a big screen) and then dinner is an hour and a half. You will probably end up walking around somewhere and it will drag things to about 4 hours. That's too long.
